CONTAINER.

- Application filed Kay 23,

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements 1n contamers or packages for roll material such as the luncheon or waxed paper commonly used by house wives for various purposes.

Luncheon or waxed paper is at present sold in sheets and to remove a sheet from package, it is necessary to handle the paper, which is very unsatisfactory from a sanitary stand point. 1

It is, therefore, a primary ob'ect of this invention to provide a container or material of the character described wherein a sheet of the same may be obtained without handling more'than a small portion of one edge of the sheet.

Another'object of this invention is to provide a container for roll material in which a sheet of any desired length may be readily obtained and thus eliminate waste.

A further object of this invention resides in the provision of a container of the character described in which the cover therefor "provides means for severing the length; of

material fromthe roll.

.--And a still further object of this invention is to-provide means for facilitating the removal from the roll of the material desired.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description pro- 'ceeds, my invent-ion resides in the novel construction, combination. and arrangement-of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claims, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the" ,hereindisclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, I. have illustrated one complete example of the phys ical embodiment of my invention constructed according to the best mode I have so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof, and in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a con tainer embodying my invention, parts there of being broken away and in section to more clearly lllustrate structural details, and

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken through my improved container.

Referring accompanying drawing, the numeral 5'desnow more particularly to the" 1923. Serial No. 640,888.

ignates a substantially rectangular shaped .container having side walls6,-a bottom 7 a rear wall 8 and a front wall or side 9 of less height than the depth of the container.

Hingedly secured to the longitudinal edge of the rear wall 8 is a cover 10 having side flaps 11 and a-front extension 12 adapted to telescope over the side and front walls of the container when the cover" is closed to thoroughly protect the interior of the container. 0 A roll 13 of waxed paper or other material is positioned within the container with its outer end portion 14 passed over the edge of the container. side wall 9 and then downwardly between wall 9 and the extension 12. When it is desired to remove a length of material from the roll, the cover 10 is swung to its dotted line position in Figure 1, and the end portion 14 of the material, disposed between wall 9 and extension 12, pulled to unroll' the length of paper desired. The cover is then closed and the length then sev-' ered' from the roll in the manner illustrated in Figure 1, utilizing the edge of extension 12 as a cutting edge.

In this manner, the paper is not handled except at one point, a sheet of materialof any desired length may be obtained, and the board, one of said sections loosely receiving therein a paper roll to be dispensed and including bottom, front, rear and end walls and the other section including front, top and end walls, means hingedly connecting the sections to each other at their rear portions, one section beingadapted to close over the front and end walls of the other section, the front wall of one section being spaced slightly from the corresponding wall of the other section to permit the passage therebetween of a paper web, and the two front walls co-acting to form a cutter for the paper web.-

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

EDWARD N. STROESSER.
